55This is a literal dream yard for dog owners - if you ever happen to sell your house, let me know! Wide open, 6ft fence all around, spacious and free of debris. There are a couple multi level decks to sit on. My dogs had an absolute BLAST running around and were already tired within 15min so I really had to stretch the hour out. I will absolutely be back to this spot again!! The only "issue" was that there was a lot of previous puppy piles left behind. I did see that in other's reviews so I had my dogs shoes on and I just watched where I walked in the yard. I picked up after my own dogs and I wish others would pay that same respect to this great spot. There was 1 ball in the yard that I found and I wish I had remembered to bring my own toys and water bottles - but also my dogs were so distracted by this being a new place, they weren't interested in fetch. One thing I would also warn for those that have reactive dogs like I do - the fence does have a 2-3 inch gaps in between each slat so they can see through the fence and the neighbors had dogs outside. By no means can these gaps be escaped through but if your dogs are easily triggered by seeing other animals, just keep this in mind.
55Very nice spacious yard with seating.
45Thank you!
45Overall nice experience. Nice size yard with a secure fence. We had to use all our poop bags we brought with us to clean up the 12+ piles of dog poop so that ours could have a clean area to play fetch. Gnats and flies might’ve been more prevalent from the poop.
55Great space! Our dogs had a great time, Nichole was really responsive. We would come back.
45Yard was a nice wide open space. It would have been a better experience if other dog poop was picked up.
55Great entrance and large manicured yard. Close to home, we love it!
55Very large yard with shady spot and beautiful deck with seating. Hose provided which was a huge plus .
55Great space for humans and dogs! This is definitely our new favorite SniffSpot!!!!
55Very clean and easy to use. Nice large deck and plenty of room! I will be back :)

I have 2 dogs. They are kept inside. Unless you come up to the door, and they happen to be there if i’m not home to keep them away, you won’t see them. they sleep most of the day as they are older (15 and 16 years old). The younger one pictured is VERY docile and happy to come out to join upon request.

It is a very quiet neighborhood. sometimes people walk by, but it’s rare. cars seldomly drive through. I work from home, so I will likely be on calls and/or watching tv in the background

Location

Crystal Lake, Illinois

Description

Fully fenced back yard with large 2 level deck. I have a very docile 15 year old Australian Shepherd and 2 year old English bulldog. Upon request, both or either dog can join you. The Aussie is indifferent towards dogs and will likely walk around and ignore them. Bulldog is dog friendly and may play but also may lay down. Feel free to use hose hooked up to lower deck level and sit on chairs. You may also discard any dog poop bags in my garbage bin in the front of my house. Happy to answer questions :)
